DAY #3

Today we talked through everyone's ideas, visited the library, and started to storyboard.

Nick showed us this Sigur Ros video. he wants to create the illusion of a character that jumps from building to building. Xavier talked to Nick about using his own body as a canvas.

James wants to create a large stencil that appears to be a blank screen until he pulls away the masking.








Bailey wants to project a sunrising and people embracing on the downtown jail.












Claire and Maddy are interested in using the Hennepin Ave. underpass (where the Greenway goes under Hennepin) as a location. They had talked about filming the light rail and projecting it.

Lauren talked about creating a piece that created the illusion of people walking through walls.












Nico had the idea of filming a dance party/horror film. He wants to project it in a busy area. I suggested the abandoned Schubert Theater.

Paris suggested using the backs of tombstones as a place to project.

Vlad wants to create the illusion of a 3-D object.

Bre and Whitney are working on a joint project about strip malls. Bre sees the suburbs as the future ghetto. I suggested checking out Jem Cohen's film Chain.

Monica wants to tackle the issue of body image using models.
